CIM_AlertIndication class
A concrete superclass for CIM alert notifications. CIM_AlertIndication is a specialized type of CIM_Indication class that contains information about the severity, cause, recommended actions, and other data for a real world event. This event and its data may or may not be modeled in the CIM class hierarchy.

Members

Properties
The CIM_AlertIndication class has these properties.
-
AlertingElementFormat
-
-
Data type: uint16
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.AlertingManagedElement", "CIM_AlertIndication.OtherAlertingElementFormat")
The format of the AlertingManagedElement property.
-
-
Unknown (0)
-
The format is unknown or not meaningfully interpretable by a CIM client application.
-
Other (1)
-
The format is defined by the value of the OtherAlertingElementFormat property.
-
CIMObjectPath (2)
-
The format is a CIMObjectPath, specifying an instance in the CIM Schema.
AlertingManagedElement
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.AlertingElementFormat")
The identifying information of the entity (ie, the instance) for which this Indication is generated. The property contains the path of an instance, encoded as a string parameter - if the instance is modeled in the CIM Schema. If not a CIM instance, the property contains some identifying string that names the entity for which the Alert is generated. The path or identifying string is formatted per the AlertingElementFormat property.
AlertType
-
Data type: uint16
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: Required, MappingStrings ("Recommendation.ITU|X733.Event type")
The primary classification of the indication.
Other (1)
- Other. The Indication's OtherAlertType property conveys its classification. Use of "Other" in an enumeration is a standard CIM convention. It means that the current Indication does not fit into the categories described by this enumeration.
Communications Alert (2)
An Indication of this type is principally associated with the procedures and/or processes required to convey information from one point to another.
Quality of Service Alert (3)
An Indication of this type is principally associated with a degradation or errors in the performance or function of an entity.
Processing Error (4)
An Indication of this type is principally associated with a software or processing fault.
Device Alert (5)
An Indication of this type is principally associated with an equipment or hardware fault.
Environmental Alert (6)
Environmental Alert. An Indication of this type is principally associated with a condition relating to an enclosure in which the hardware resides, or other environmental considerations.
Model Change (7)
The Indication addresses changes in the Information Model. For example, it may embed a Lifecycle Indication to convey the specific model change being alerted.
Security Alert (8)
. An Indication of this type is associated.
Description
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: MappingStrings ("Recommendation.ITU|X733.Additional text")
A short description of the Indication.
EventID
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.ProbableCause")
An instrumentation or provider specific value that describes the underlying real-world event represented by the indication. Indications with the same non-NULL EventID value are considered, by the creating entity, to represent the same event. The comparison of two EventID values is only defined for alert indications with identical, non-NULL values of SystemCreateClassName, SystemName and ProviderName properties.
EventTime
-
Data type: datetime
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.ProbableCause")
The time and date that indicates when the underlying event was first detected. If this values is specified and the creating entity is not capable of providing this information, this property must be set to NULL. This value is based on the notion of the local date and time of the CIM_ManageSystemElement object that generated the indication.
Message
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.MessageID", "CIM_AlertIndication.MessageArguments")
The formatted message for the alert indication. This message is formatted by combining one or more of the dynamic elements specified in the MessageArguments property, and with the static elements uniquely identified by the MessageID property.
MessageArguments
-
Data type: string array
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.Message", "CIM_AlertIndication.MessageID")
An array that contains the dynamic content of the message for the alert indication.
MessageID
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.Message", "CIM_AlertIndication.MessageArguments")
The unique ID of the message format, withing the scope of the organization specified in OwningEntity.
OtherAlertingElementFormat
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.AlertingElementFormat")
Defines the format of the AlertingManagedElement property when the AlertingElementFormat property is set to "1" (other); otherwise, this value must be set to NULL.
OtherAlertType
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
-
Qualifiers: ModelCorrespondence ("CIM_AlertIndication.AlertType")
A string that describes the AlertType value when the AlertType property is set to "1" (Other State Change).
OwningEntity
-
Data type: string
-
Access type: Read-only
The unique ID of the organization that owns the definition of the format of theMessage property. OwningEntity must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or unique name that is owned by the business entity or standards body that defined the message format.

Minor (4)
Indicates action is needed, but the situation is not serious at this time.
Major (5)
Indicates action is needed now.
Critical (6)
Action is needed NOW and the scope is broad (perhaps an imminent outage to a critical resource will result).
Fatal/NonRecoverable (7)
Indicates an error occurred, but it's too late to take remedial action.
